Re: [ovirt-users] vdsm dependency rsyslog?

I'll do both (here and on BZ): Usecase: Well utilize existing log infrastructure which doesn't use rsyslog, perhaps? e.g. syslog-ng furthermore: vdsms logging is configured via /etc/vdsm/logger.conf and uses the python module logging: https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html this module is pretty cool, it allows you to redirect your logging basically to wherever you like, including syslog services or files, whatever. so why restrict this builtin feature by adding a hard dependency to a specific logging service? I know it's done because it's built on red hat linux where rsyslog is the default, and I don't want to say rsyslog is bad, it's just not used by everybody. As I understand there is work be done to port vdsm and engine to different distros like debian/ubuntu and gentoo. If you really want to port your software, keep it portable. This means in the first place don't introduce dependencies which aren't absolutely necessary.

This one isn't really necessary. I can report to you that e.g. syslog-ng handles vdsm logs well. ;) HTH
